Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California
Creditor harrassment
I have been contacted by a
collection, trying to collect a bill with
a debtor name similar to mine. I
have sent them proof that I am not
their debtor, yet they have not filed
suit. The defendant caption is a
name similar to mine - the collection
agencies attorney sub-served my
husband and I sent back the
summons and complaint, back to the
attorney and collection agency, but
they have not dismissed their suit.
The police department says no crime
has been committed.
What do I do?

Hire a local attorney to defend you in order to avoid a default judgment against you.

You should have an attorney contact the Plaintiff's attorney with your information to persuade him that you are not the correct defendant. If the case is tried, you may be able to recover costs and legal fees.
